Abstract

The University of Salamanca was one of the main focuses to introduce in Spain the modern political and economical theories coming from Europe. Some of the main liberal thinkers studied in Salamanca between the last years of the XVIIIth Century and the first years of the XIXth century, where they were able to learn those doctrines which they used later in their political activities.
